Abstract Since the beginning of the 21st century, mankind has been carrying out various space activities, especially new types of space missions such as space-based space target surveillance, on-orbit service, and so on. These activities have brought about increasingly higher requirements for orbits with special space motion characteristics. However, traditional orbit theories and design methods can no longer satisfy these special application demands. Therefore, in this chapter, the concepts and characteristics of a special space orbit will be introduced and analyzed, with six typical special space orbits elaborated in accordance with their specific application requirements.
